604 crate on gas isn't a mod engine. It's an option, but my motor puts out over 650HP and yours is no where close to that. The only parts on my car that are stock are the front stub, steering box, drag link, and inner tie rod. Yours has a stock steel body, stock frame that has been modified, stock trailing arms, etc. As for money spent, you can spend $100,000 on a street stock if you're inclined to do so, but it doesn't make sense to run for $300 to win (Mods pay $500 or more depending on track)If you can't see the point here, you are OTL.Originally posted by stock car driverWell your street stock must be very different from our IMCA cars. Our IMCA cars have fabricated floor, firewall, tin rear behind seat, moved a arms etc. They cost the same as a roller modified from builders if not more. The only thing stock on our IMCA cars are the rear trailing arms and lower a arms. not much difference from a mod...
as for hp, my two barrel stock car motor makes ten hp over the 604 crate on gas.
My mod is faster, 600 lighter makes a difference!

Two cents......With the crate running in deeper, on deceleration, would the lack of compression/hp free the car up more. Open motors on deceleration really effect the rear tires. Just thinking, when you back the car in with the big motor, the car backs itself in......Does the crate not effect the rear tires as much to let you get set up a little better through the center????

Look guy, I'm not trying to be adversarial here. I'm simply trying to explain to you that a modified and a street stock car aren't equal classes. I've raced at over 20 different race tracks from Texas, Mississippi, Arkansas, Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, and Louisiana and not one track I've ever been to paid the stock cars what the mod class paid, nor did any of them consider them equal. Maybe IMCA does? I don't know. I'm not one of the guys on here who bashes people or stirs crap. Lord knows there are enough of them. As I said before, who really cares? If you own or drive a racecar, be it a hornet, street stock, hobby stock, modified, Late Model, or sprint car that makes you a racer. End of story. I wish you the best of luck in whatever you race.Originally posted by stock car driverI don't see your point. Your welcome to your opinion apparently Im not allowed to have mine if u don't agree with it? To me the Imca modified and Imca stock car classes are equal. If it offends you put me on ur ignore list I don't care.
As for your motors hp, who cares are you going to tell me next your dad can beat up mine or what?Last edited by modracr41; 08-15-2013, 11:18 PM.
